Three great smiles

We don't subscribe to the stereotype of people who have Down syndrome as "always happy and loving" - it denies that they can and will experience the full range of human emotional experience. Just try saying it to the parents of a toddler throwing a whopping tantrum or of a teenager who can slam doors with the best of them, or an adult bereft at the end of a relationship. And it doesn't sit well with that other old chestnut about "the stubborn streak" (we'll deal with that another time)!

We hope they make you smile too. Wouldn't you love to know what prompted them?
